What a seven days of fishing we had ! More that 400 fish between six anglers not counting the bonnies and sharks. Black Marlin breaking our lines, sailies jumping like crazy and BIG doggie close to spooling a Stella 10 000, GT'S on poppers and stick Baits and the 200kg groupers making mince...

Hey Guys Any tips on removing the skin before frying the fillets - done some the other night - but dam its a mission.  

It like hunting in the Serengeti - Wild as wild as places come !! We were six anglers - close to 400 fish with 28 species. We had wind every morning so could not get out to Spot X or to the other doggie areas - but had a ball with the GT, Groupers and other Travellie species. Plenty of...

Where is the best to take the boat for a service in Cape Town. Talking quality service. Have to get motors ( Yamaha 60 4 strokes ) serviced. Advise would be appreciated. Arno

Fishing a comp on Sat. - Can the Durban guys assist by telling me if there are any  mackies around. Would like to fly - in a 'on ice' few to Cape Town for the comp.

Something that has bothered me for a long time and would like to put the question out there. If landing a bronzie/raggie female and she is pregnant  - does the weight of the fish (now not being buoyant) not crush the pups and the fish intestines ? Remember she is also tired and cannot necessary...
